I haven't met you, and this is crazy...

But if you need a mentor, then email me maybe.

Being a designer is tough.

It seems like every other day there's a new design trend to learn, tools to master, and endless design-related Medium posts to read. Without someone to help you filter it all, it can be overwhelming and intimidating. I know because I've walked more than a few miles in those shoes. So whether you're new to the field or simply looking for some guidance and support, I can help.

Benefits of Mentorship

I know a thing or two because I've done a thing or two in my design career, and I'm committed to helping you make use of that knowledge.

Products

I'll empower you to build skill and confidence in your design tools.

Resources

I'll point you towards informative content and useful products.

Networking

I'll connect you with other industry professionals and expand your reach.

Opportunity

I'll make introductions and help you get your foot in the door.

Growth

I'll uncover blind spots and accelerate your skill development.

I’ve mentored talented designers from all over the world

And many have worked for high profile companies:

My Mentoring Style

I strive to function as a catalyst and challenge you to grow as both a designer and a human. I care about the details and will encourage you to think, plan, and dream. These are qualities I will bring to every conversation.

Authenticity

No sugar-coated critiques here. I care about your growth too much to not keep it real. We'll tear things down and rebuild them better, together.

Humility

I don’t profess to be at the top of the design talent pool, because I know there is still much for me to master. Design is a moving target I'm hunting every day.

Equality

To me, you're more than just a mentee. You’re a designer — an industry peer. I’m not the only one teaching and you’re not the only one learning.

Transparency

I don’t have all the answers, but I’m happy to point you towards useful resources and share what I've learned from my own personal design journey.
